GDC leader Mamma Kandeh has claimed hungry and angry people are what came together to form President Adama Barrow’s government, as he frowns at the level of corruption in the country.
The GDC leader spoke exclusive to The Fatu Network on Wednesday, the first time in many months.
Mr Kandeh said of the corruption issue: “There was a time I think I was the first who said that this government, they’re corrupt. It generated some noise to the extent I was called to the police headquarters to question me for what I have said…
“But those people that called me, I think they should call another person today regarding the corruption taking place in the country today. I think every Gambian have seen it.
“I have seen one or two days ago where the minister of finance said that, ‘in a matter of four months we have sent 5.08 billion dalasis’. I can bravely say that’s broad daylight robbery. It’s just too much within a short period of time.
“We have seen in the papers the ministry of tourism, about 38 million plus. That’s not long ago even.
“So I will take you back to my first statement that these people are hungry. It’s hungry and angry people that were banded together and formed a government and that’s what is happening.
“How can we say corruption in The Gambia here, they’re eating money left, right and centre, everybody is talking about it and they want to say President Barrow is not aware of it. And who have you heard was fired because of corruption in this country?
